TK, you are soooooo right. It is always really revolting to see all these YT gurus claiming that we can build a SAAS business with no-code tools. I have unsubscribed from all those charlatans. You are the voice of experience. Keep up the great work!

Wow, I am an entrepreneur entering the med-tech industry. I love your lemonade analogy. After a decade of selling hospital-made lemonade, I realized I was sick of the taste, the prices, and being squeezed myself. Three years ago, I decided to try my own stand, self-funded and a bit side-eyed. It's crazy outside in the hospital's shadows. Three years later, I have found a niche no one had really entered (surprising in the 2020s!) and a small group of other wanderers to follow me! I slowly became profitable, even with the goliath systems eating up pop-up stands around us. Not sure about other industries, but it's really a dog race for health systems, for both territory and control. But I guess the services we were offering required a nimble and agile approach to maneuver around some critical hurdles that the goliaths simply were too big to do or didn't think it was worth doing...not sure? They eventually started sending us referrals. unexpectedly and thankfully, another health industry also needs our services. Now I need to scale my three wooden stands before the eye of Sauron takes a closer look. But I've hit the limit of my understanding on where to go next.... so this was extremely helpful. Thank you for taking the time to make this for other wanderers like me.

Exactly what my team is doing, service based business creating a SAAS that started as an internal tool.

I’m an SDR, and I speak to a lot of Sales people everyday. I know what’s top of mind/ challenges. Have managed to utilize that knowledge to fuel my SaaS idea. I’m building a tool for reps e.g. SDRs and AE’s. I have domain knowledge and I know in today’s market it will be killer. But I don’t have the $$$. What should I do?

Earn money doing something you know how to do. Then invest that money to build your idea.

I'm curious what everyone's opinion is for an engineer who is passionate about developing to build 10-15 high quality micro products in an industry he is interested in and has years of domain knowledge in, then look at the market and go to market strategy? Great video TK - production quality and educational structure on point

Start with the first product. Don’t move to the 2nd until the first one is humming. I’ve found that’s a pretty good rule to follow so you don’t end up neither here nor there.

what is the lowest and maximum amount of money required to start a SaaS business alone without any coding

@TKKader

6 ай бұрын

Depends on the complexity of the product you’re building.

Great video. I wish you spent more time talking about what the risk of starting off with a no-code SaaS is. I’m a newbie and of the assumption that you could start with no-code to get started and build from scratch later. What are the risks of this approach?

Most No Code tools lead to shitty and uncompetitive SaaS offerings.

I have a year of domain knowledge in the industry I am trying to serve but I am a designer so I decided to start a couple months ago to validate the idea with a no-code solution. I am currently talking with customers and building an audience through organic content but I have the capital to hire a team once the idea is validated with the no-code mvp. Should I reconsider this approach?

1/ You should 100% focus on talking to 100+ target customers, and hone in on your SaaS idea. You want to validate that you're solving an urgent and important problem. 2/ A No-Code solution may be more of a distraction at this stage. I think asking probing questions and getting conviction as you talk to 100+ target customers as aggressively as possible is your best play. You can then use that to define exactly what the solution looks like. 3/ As you get conviction, then you can decide whether a No-Code platform can truly help you build a 10x product that your 100+ people you've talked to will buy or if you need to build a proper solution. As you build that, you can go to your 100+ people you talked to and see if they're willing to buy and get in on the pilot at a discounted price. There is a subtle difference in approach compared to what you're doing. The key subtle difference is that you're keeping the focus initially on the Market and the GTM and driving to 100+ customer conversations to really understand that you're solving an urgent and important problem. You're then using those conversations to deliver on a 10x solution that you have high conviction will help these folks.
